RE: Fraud in Minnesota

I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.

Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!

So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.

Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.

So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.

I'm not a big fan of tipping culture but a party of 10 tipping $5 total? Prison

[Laura Kaye 🇺🇸 @NonsenseEnd]

🚨Waitress Megan Hollis in Cleveland, OH was arrested after flipping a table when a party of 10 left a $5 tip on a $304 bill.

22-year-old Hollis was arrested after she flipped an entire four-top table at Lakeside Grill in outrage over a $5 tip left by a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. According to the report, Megan had spent nearly three hours refilling sodas, cutting cake, handing out plates, and splitting the check five ways.

When she picked up the receipt and saw the tip—five crumpled one-dollar bills—she reportedly said, “No. No, absolutely not,” set the money down, and walked directly to the group's table.

Witnesses say she stared at them and asked, “Is this a prank?” before grabbing the edge of the table and flipping it onto its side. Plates shattered, drinks spilled everywhere, and the birthday girl screamed.

Management intervened, but Megan shouted, “YOU DON’T LEAVE FIVE DOLLARS ON A THREE-HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILL. I’M NOT A CHARITY.”

Police arrested her moments later.

Surely all the people who were mad about Jimmy Kimmel losing his show are furious about this

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Oh, and while I’m at it, why is this shocking story that dropped yesterday not getting the same attention as Kimmel’s 48-hour suspension? It’s far more egregious but the U.S. mainstream media doesn’t seem to care. Why?
(Obviously, I know why… )

@ParryPunchNews Are you suggesting that Conor Mcgregor (the biggest superstar in MMA history by a wide margin) will serve as anything else but a headliner? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 @Ben_Scallan]

Note: there's not one prominent Leftist anywhere in the West doing what Charlie Kirk did, i.e. issuing an open debate challenge to all comers and saying "Here's my view, I invite you to try and prove me wrong". None of them are willing to subject their views to that scrutiny.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.

[Natanel Zipper @ZipperNatanel]

They should publicly execute Charlie Kirk's shooter.

Por qué toma 1:40 para disparar contra alguien que esta amagando una pistola contra las autoridades??

Your @FBI is cracking down on scams against seniors - @FBIBoston and partners in the Dominican Republic just took down a transnational call center run by 13 individuals, allegedly cheating hundreds of seniors across the country out of millions of dollars.

Tragically this case isn’t unique — scams against elderly Americans are a growing threat with often devastating results. Stay alert, protect your loved ones and report suspicious activity to law enforcement.

Thanks to Uber’s security team who reported this activity and no doubt helped prevent hundreds of other potential losses.

The correlation between mental illness and protesters must be incredibly strong.

[Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 @Bubblebathgirl]

Anti-ICE protesters throw their bodies on the front of an ICE vehicle, and hit the hood with their hands, as the vehicle leaves an ICE detention facility in NJ.

A chunky screaming protester with a shaved head gets pushed to the ground.

She gets up, touches another vehicle, and gets pushed off that one as well.

She and all the obstructionists need to be arrested and jailed.

This took such an unexpected turn 😂

[GODFOE UNIVERSE @GODFOE_UNIVERSE]

I got the call at 3am that my brother had killed himself. Instead of crying or reacting emotionally at all I had to go wake up my mom and tell her that her son was dead and be there for her. Because while I’d lost a brother, she’d lost a child.

When men have responsibility they don’t get the luxury of immediate emoting, they have to carry themselves to carry others.

The people in that court room had families, those families lost sons, daughters, mothers, and more. Superman is a symbol of hope for them. Superman is the Super-Man, the Super-Father, the Super-Brother, his burden is the entire world. He doesn’t get to just break down. He must be a Man of Steel.

Snyder’s Superman was absolutely “it” if you have any indication of what a Man is.

By far the most coherent and sane view anyone could possibly have on the whole Israel/Palestine situation.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

I have a coherent right wing worldview. Israelis took land by conquest. They want to preserve the cultural and ethnic identity of Israel. They should be able to do so, if they can keep it.

American conservatives won’t admit the truth, they lie, making a mess of the subject.
